Description below

A figure lies on a great clock, etched in the face of a mirror. The figure keep time, moving arms and legs to match the hour and minute, moving from lieing flat to crouching over and back again over the period of each hour.

Each five minute a short segment of narative or "movement" is heard read aloud from a cyclical story of a man trapped in an elevator after having destroyed a government clock tower. The story develops on an altered histroy of time, where clocks are physically attached together to accomplish synchonicity. By destroying the government clock he has "stopped" the politic of time, and lost himself in part of the machine which houses it; when the clock which was tied to the elevator's timing system is destroyed.
